We have discussed this topic earlier here and I have referred to my PhD 
experiment. In that experiment we have used electrons of a well defined 
energy to convert them into photons. The photons were after a flight of 
several meters in the air detected by pair building in a thin layer of 
copper. The energy of the pair was measured, and the measurement showed 
the energy of the original electron. So, how can we understand this 
result if it is not the photon which carries exactly this energy and 
which is quantized with this energy?

The force is indeed not infinite, on the contrary, there cannot be a 
force at all. If we look at the forces of charges, it is obvious (in the 
mind of physicists) that a charge can only interact with a charge of the 
same type. So the electrical charge and the charge of the strong force 
will by common understanding not react in any way. And if now mass is 
understood as some type of a charge (which is, however, not the 
understanding of present physics) then there should not be any force 
between e.g. an electric charge and a mass.

If we look deeper into what mass is by present understanding, then 
charges may influence the dynamical process which we call "inertia". But 
that is in that case a  complicated logical connection.

Yes, then we should better wait. -  But up to now I still follow this 
argument that action is something which  the human brain needs to 
structure the world so that it fits into our brains. Particles which 
react to each other do not have this need. They react to a force, and 
the force and also the reaction to it can be infinitesimal. An action is 
(by my understanding) something which happens or does not happen. I do 
not see infinitesimal single steps which each can be understood as an 
action. So, this is my argument that action is a typical case of "human 
understanding".

Can you please give me a reference to a text book which connects the 
twin paradox to gravity? I never heard about such an idea; and the 
discussion about ageing refers to the time dilation in SRT. You can 
perform this twin paradox in an environment where no gravitational 
sources are around, and it would work as usually described.

According to SRT clocks slow down because of velocity. The degree of 
slow-down is related to the speed of the clocks and to nothing else. 
Acceleration or deceleration have no influence to the behaviour of 
clock. This statement you will find uniformly in all textbooks.

Then you write: "... and then rocket reverses for the third quarter and 
come to rest rest at the origin where the second twin has been waiting 
at rest." Now I am confused. I have understood that both twins move and 
change their motion at exactly the same times. How can it then happen 
that on twin is at rest and expects the other one?

why for an arbitrarily long period of time? It is only for the time 
until the other twin changes his speed.

Perhaps I understand now where you see the paradox. Assume the following 
case which is sometimes discussed. There are two observers, A and B, and 
both have clocks with them. We assume that both observers move with 
respect to each other. Then observer A will find that the clock of 
observer B runs more slowly. But as both observers are physically 
equivalent also observer B will find that the clock of observer A runs 
more slowly.

This sounds like a paradox or even like a logical conflict. But it is 
not. To see why not we have to have a closer look on how clock speeds 
(or the time in different frames) are compared. It is not as simple as 
it looks like.

If the observer A will compare his clock run with the one of observer B, 
he will e.g. place two of his clocks, which we will call clock 1 and 
clock 2 (and which he has of course synchronized) along the path of 
observer B. Then he will compare the clock of observer B with his clock 
1 and then with clock 2 in the moment when the observer B passes these 
clocks. The result will be that the clock of observer B have run more 
slowly.

But how now the other way around? The observer B can of course compare 
his clock with both clocks of observer A when he passes these clocks. 
But now a difference: Both clocks of observer A have been synchronized 
in the frame of A. But in the frame of B they will not be synchronized 
(a fundamental fact in SRT). From the view of observer B the clock 1 of 
observer A will be retarded with respect to the clock 2. So, the 
observer B can reproduce the observation of observer A in the way that 
observer A sees the clock of B slowed down. But observer B will use a 
different method to determine the speed of the clocks of observer A. 
Observe B will also position two clocks along the path which observer A 
follows in frame B and he will synchronize these clocks in /*his*/ frame 
B. And with his clocks he will find that the clocks of A run slower 
compared to his own ones.

This different clock synchronization follows from the time-related part 
of the Lorentz transformation:

       t = gamma*(t'-vx/c^2 ) with gamma = sqrt(1/(1 - v^2 /c^2 )). 
Regarding the example above v is the speed between the frames of A and of B.

Is this understandable? (I have presented it in Porto Novo when I talked 
about the problem of de Broglie with SRT.) If not clear, please ask 
further questions I and shall go into more details.

I have received your mail once. But last time also Chandra and Adrew 
have answered. So the general distribution seems to work
